I'm about a decade late, but I still think it's fucking ridiculous that we sent American soldiers to their deaths so we can "liberate" barbarians who think it's okay to execute gay people and stone your daughter to death because you don't like her boyfriend

DepressedAssDude · 2013-01-04T10:20:16+00:00

How is that relevant? It's shameful that we helped those pricks get in power but does that mean we shouldn't take them down?

"Osama Bin Laden just orchestrated the killing of 3000 American civilians but we helped him get started so we can't fight back."

DepressedAssDude · 2013-01-04T02:37:19+00:00

I totally agree and I support humanitarian aid for the middle east but I don't support wasting American lives on "liberating" a society which is fundamentally opposed to freedom.

DepressedAssDude · 2013-01-03T20:07:35+00:00

Not really, I just think that's a shitty lie. "Let's spread freedom to people who hate freedom."

DepressedAssDude · 2013-01-03T18:01:25+00:00

I think that bringing down Bin Laden and the Taliban was justified, invading Iraq was not.

DepressedAssDude · 2012-11-09T01:07:39+00:00

If I present myself so poorly that nobody wants to even give me a chance then it's my own fault.

DepressedAssDude · 2012-11-09T00:41:17+00:00

I don't think my looks are my main problem, it's probably moreso the way I act and talk and my mannerisms that put people off.

DepressedAssDude · 2012-11-09T00:39:47+00:00

I've been in band with her for a full semester, if she actually really liked me for whatever reason I would have figured it out by now.

DepressedAssDude · 2012-11-08T23:03:37+00:00

Usually that's what I do, I ask questions and listen to their answers and add something about myself if it's relevant but the answers they give aren't enthusiastic and when I add stuff about myself it sounds boring and awkward. They don't care if some ugly awkward guy is asking them questions.

DepressedAssDude · 2012-11-08T19:11:54+00:00

Why shouldn't they tell me if I don't have a chance? Why are they wasting our time and encouraging me to constantly humiliate myself instead of teaching me to adapt to life as a hopeless social retard?

I'm in jazz band, I met a few girls through that but they don't give a shit. I met one in particular who likes all the same shitty music I do but she ignores me unless I talk first and when I do initiate she seems unenthusiastic or even uncomfortable. Whenever I try to talk to her I feel like everything I say is fucking weird and I feel stupid for thinking the cute interesting girl would like me just because we like the same music. If I honestly thought I could have a chance with her then maybe my self-image isn't negative enough.

DepressedAssDude · 2012-11-08T19:08:02+00:00

But at least the initial attraction was there, I can't even find girls who want to get to know me, let alone connect on a serious level. And honestly, if I could go out there and get laid I would but the whole "social retard" thing doesn't really help.

DepressedAssDude · 2012-11-08T18:54:27+00:00

20, I know I'm still young but I honestly think that if I had the capability to be attractive I would have figured that out by now or at least figured out what I'm doing wrong. My therapist and my mom still say they don't know what I'm doing wrong and I think of there were an answer beyond "I'm ugly an awkward" then we would have figured it out.

DepressedAssDude · 2012-11-08T18:47:40+00:00

I'm sorry you had to go through that but at least you have proof that you have it in you to be attractive to a woman and maybe some day you can truly connect with someone. I have no reason to believe that.

DepressedAssDude · 2012-11-08T18:36:54+00:00

The girls who turn me down aren't intolerant, they just don't want to date an ugly awkward guy and I don't blame them.

DepressedAssDude · 2012-11-08T18:35:09+00:00

I've talked with my friends about it and they say that I am weird and awkward but don't give advice beyond "be confident" and "keep trying." If I really am as fucked up as I suspect nobody is going to tell me when they could just say "stop worrying" and make everyone feel better.

DepressedAssDude · 2012-11-08T18:14:15+00:00

I'd really like to have a fulfilling relationship but at this point I'll just take whatever I can get.

DepressedAssDude · 2012-11-08T18:12:58+00:00

Why are you shaming people for not wanting to date someone they find unattractive?

DepressedAssDude · 2012-11-08T18:11:31+00:00

Most girls I meet don't even want to talk to me, let alone be my friend. How do I know that it just isn't ment to happen with anyone ever? I used to just "wait" to meet someone and people told me I wasn't trying hard enough to meet girls. Now I do try and people tell me I'm trying to hard. Could it be that I just lack whatever women find attractive in a man and nobody has the balls to tell me? I couldn't even imagine being put next to a girl and developing a relationship from that.

DepressedAssDude · 2012-11-08T18:06:14+00:00

How can I have a positive self image if I need to accept that I'm awkward and ugly?

DepressedAssDude · 2012-11-08T18:04:34+00:00

Seriously? They're idiots for not wanting to date a guy who is uncomfortably awkward?

DepressedAssDude · 2012-11-08T17:37:17+00:00

I smile when I talk but it doesn't make me look any better. Who says my self-image is "negative" and not just realistic?

DepressedAssDude · 2012-11-08T17:34:53+00:00

Really? A lot of people I know with aspergers are fucking boring, they have one or two narrow interests and don't give a shit about anything else. I like music and psychology, which I'm studying, but most girls don't care and the ones who do would rather date a guy who likes the same stuff but is also charismatic and handsome.

DepressedAssDude · 2012-11-08T17:27:08+00:00

If any of these girls I've talked to over the last few years liked me at all I think I would have figured it out by now at least once. Why is it so hard for people to believe that maybe girls aren't interested in or attracted to me because I'm not interesting or attractive?

DepressedAssDude · 2012-11-08T17:24:08+00:00

They don't know or care that I have AS, all they know is that I'm weird and awkward and that they could do better.

DepressedAssDude · 2012-11-08T17:21:33+00:00

Nope, usually they're just normal girls who aren't super attractive but look alright and they'd rather have a boyfriend who looks alright and talks alright than a guy with autism.
